Anodic stripping voltammetry with gold electrodes as an alternative method for the routine determination of mercury in fish. Comparison with spectroscopic approaches

Determination of Mercury Content in Surface Waters Using an Environmentally Non-Toxic Terminating Electrolyte

“…Low standard deviation values indicate high precision of the analytical method used. Slightly lower values of concentrations were obtained by other authors of miscellaneous studies conducted in their respective countries, both Europe and other parts of the world (Giacomino et al 2017 ; Kwaansa-Ansah et al 2016 ).…”

“…Other methods are often used to analyse mercury from aqueous solutions, including, inter alia, the extraction and colorimetric method, flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry combined with the cold vapour method (CV-AAS) and the indirect dithizone method with copper carbamate. The methods of mercury determination have been compared a number of times (Giacomino et al 2017 ; Kwaansa-Ansah et al 2016 ; Xia et al 2010 ; Domanico et al 2017 ). In this study, however, the analysis was limited to isotachophoresis following the previously developed methodology (Kluska et al 2014 ).…”

“…The problem, however, consists in the fact that it is not biodegradable and forms many toxic compounds, both organic and inorganic. Moreover, it also enters the human body in significant quantities (Giacomino et al 2017 ; Kwaansa-Ansah et al 2016 ; Kluska et al 2015 ; Jabłońska and Kluska 2019 ).…”

Highly selective sensor for the detection of Hg 2+ ions using homocysteine functionalised quartz crystal microbalance with cross‐linked pyridinedicarboxylic acid

“…A carbon nanotubes‐based sensor also used to detect the HMIs selectively but at micromolar range [7, 8] and single‐walled boron nitride nanotube and triple‐walled boron nitride nanotube‐based biosensor simulation approach capable of detecting zeptogram of mass [9, 10] but need to check the sensitivity and complexity of the fabricated device. Many authors used Au/Ag nanoparticles (NPs) for the selective detection of mercury and other biomolecules, but measurements mainly taken in the laboratory‐based analytical instruments and on‐site detection is not possible [11–27]. The mesoporous silica‐based optical selective detection and removal of Hg 2+ ions using nanocomposite material by Shahat et al [28] is a highly pH‐dependent approach, and lower concentration in the nanomolar range is not possible.…”

Highly Sensitive AdSV Method for Fe(III) Determination in Presence of Solochrome Violet RS on Renewable Amalgam Film Electrode

“…In addition, different types of electrodes were proposed, starting from hanging mercury drop electrode HMDE which might be described by excellent performance but is less common nowadays due to mercury toxicity and its impact on environment. In the meanwhile, new generation of eco‐friendly electrodes have been developed, like for example platinum or gold electrodes, modified glassy carbon electrodes and finally film electrodes (covered with mercury, bismuth, lead, gallium) . The electrode which belongs to the last group is cyclic renewable mercury (amalgam) film electrode Hg(Ag)FE applied in this work.…”
